Learn to Kayak

Our 2025 kayaking series begins with a beginner’s lake-based paddling skills class. Get dry-land instruction on basic kayaking techniques from an experienced instructor, and then hit the water to practice and expand upon these skills. Boaters must be at least 16 years old and able to hold breathe under water
while wearing a properly fitted life jacket, independently turn from a face down to a face-up position keeping head above water, effectively communicate with the instructor and other participants, and manage all mobility and personal care independently or with the assistance of a companion.
